Winner of the Florida Writers Association 2004 Royal Palm Literary
Award for the best unpublished novel of adult fiction for
2004-2005. Watermelon Fall is well written, it is appealing to the
romance reader, and it shows originality. But most of all, it is a
beautiful story. Robert West is sure to capture the hearts of all
who read this.-Barbara Casey, literary agent and author of Shyla's
Initiative and The Coach's Wife. Once in a lifetime a novel like
Watermelon Fall comes into your life and you are never the same
again Lifetimes are composed, compromised, ebbed, rip tided, and
interwoven with all the experiences and people who encompass these
rich woven tapestries of our lives and dreams. This is such a
novel. Shakespeare had his 'Hatfield and McCoy' families and a
mysterious potion that led to the demise of both young lovers in
Romeo and Juliet; in Watermelon Fall we have 'one family' along
with a social milieu, coupled with 'an act of God', that leads to
the demise of our 'spring and fall' lovers. Watermelon Fall is an
intense love story for fathers and daughters to cherish for a
lifetime. Bravo, Bob West, for a love story, not a romance novel

To 'rematerialize' in the sense of Rematerializing Shakespeare:
Authority and Representation on the Early Modern English Stage is
not to recover a lost material infrastructure, as Marx spoke of,
nor is it to restore to some material existence its priority over
the imaginary. Indeed, this collection of work by some of the most
highly-regarded critics in Shakespeare studies does not offer a
single theoretical stance on any of the various forms of critical
materialism (Marxism, cultural materialism, new historicism,
transversal poetics, gender studies, or performance criticism), but
rather demonstrates that the materiality of Shakespeare is
multidimensional and consists of the imagination, the intended, and
the desired. Nothing returns in this rematerialization, unless it
is a return in the sense of the repressed, which, when it comes
back, comes back as something else. An all-star line-up of
contributors includes Kate McLuskie, Terence Hawkes, Catherine
Belsey and Doug Bruster.
Build interactive, database-driven websites with PHP 7, MySQL 8,
and MariaDB. The focus of this book is on getting you up and
running as quickly as possible with real-world applications. In the
first two chapters, you will set up your development and testing
environment, and then build your first PHP and MariaDB or MySQL
database-driven website. You will then increase its sophistication,
security, and functionality throughout the course of the book. The
PHP required is taught in context within each project so you can
quickly learn how PHP integrates with MariaDB and MySQL to create
powerful database-driven websites. Each project is fully
illustrated, so you will see clearly what you are building as you
create your own database-driven website. You will build a form for
registering users, and then build an interface so that an
administrator can view and administer the user database. You will
create a message board for users and a method for emailing them.
You will also learn the best practices for ensuring that your
website databases are secure. Later chapters describe how to create
a product catalog, and a simple e-commerce site. You will also
discover how to migrate a database to a remote host. The final
chapter will demonstrate the advantages of migrating to Oracle's
MySQL 8. You will be shown step by step migration directions along
with a demonstration of the tools available in SQL Workbench.
Because you are building the interactive pages yourself, you will
know exactly how MySQL, MariaDB, and PHP all work together, and you
will be able to add database interactivity to your own websites
with ease. What You Will Learn Build a secure database-driven
website using PHP 7, MySQL 8, and MariaDB Create a product catalog
Write a message board Move towards e-commerce Employ security and
validation measures Migrate to Oracle's MySQL 8 Server platform Who
